Thanks for Standing Up for what You Believe

When it really counted.[/sarcasm off]

We have our modern day enablers of incompentency and known error, the ones who sit by or assist as things they know to be wrong are undertaken.

Exhibits A & B, Colin Powell and Richard Armitage.

Yesterday, as is pointed out at the Road to Serfdom, Armitage had a few statements to say that will make a conservative spew their coffee and talk about how much they hate the State Department.

"I'm disappointed that Iraq hasn't turned out better. And that we weren't able to move forward more meaningfully in the Middle East peace process."

Then, after a minute's pause, he adds a third regret: "The biggest regret is that we didn't stop 9/11. And then in the wake of 9/11, instead of redoubling what is our traditional export of hope and optimism we exported our fear and our anger. And presented a very intense and angry face to the world. I regret that a lot."
